Has AI changed how you think about your note-taking practice?
I've been wrestling with where helpful AI assistance ends and outsourced thinking begins. There's a version of AI-assisted PKM that builds your cognition, and a version that quietly erodes it.
What's your experience been? I explore my own answer here: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitive-protection-ai/

One thing five years of Zettelkasten has taught me: productive friction isn't the enemy of learning — it's how learning happens.
Writing notes in my own words, making my own connections — that's where the thinking occurs. It's why I'm careful about where AI fits in my PKM.

Five years of Zettelkasten has convinced me: your PKM isn't just a note store. It's a cognitive architecture — a way of thinking for yourself rather than outsourcing it.
The final post in my AI and cognition series explores how Zettelkasten protects your thinking, and where AI fits in: https://www.ctnet.co.uk/pkm-cognitive-protection-ai/
So if I move to #Gregg #shorthand for my writing, #Kaktovik numbers for calculations, start using a Commonplace book and physical #Zettelkasten notes, will I have any chance against digitized workflows’ speed? I actually want to try that life to see how far computerless life can get one.
Spreadsheets on paper anyone? Abstracting numeric operations by remembering the graphics of them (reminds me of the #APL #ACM paper by Iverson?)

Auch der von mir sehr geschätzte Philosoph Hans #Blumenberg (1920 - 1996) arbeitete und schrieb auf Basis eines legendären #Zettelkasten ! https://scilogs.spektrum.de/natur-des-glaubens/hans-blumenberg-und-der-dualismus-des-grundes/
Ein #Toot als Zettel im Sinne des von #Ahrens2017 erörterten #Zettelkasten-Prinzips stellt eine Art Knotenpunkt (Node) in einem Netzwerk dar, das sich mit jedem Toot weiter spannt. Die Erwähnung eines Handle ist Ausdruck einer Beziehung zu einem Akteur und gleichzeitig auch ein Interaktionsangebot. Hashtags verschlagworten nicht nur quer zueinander alle Notizen thematisch, eigene und fremde. Sie ermöglichen es ebenfalls, Beziehungen zwischen Themen und Quellen herzustellen.
I include this in the system prompt of every AI I use:
'Give honest and constructive feedback.'
I want AI to help me become a better thinker — which means I need it to challenge me, not just agree with me. That's a harder thing to get right than it sounds. https://www.ctnet.co.uk/protecting-your-mind-from-ai/
Part 4 of my AI and cognition series, and finally some good news — this time I'm focusing on what we can do about it.
The first three posts explored the risks. This one is about protecting and even growing your mind while making full use of AI.
